DVDFab is among us for a long time now (since 2003) and years of trust and development have led this product to come so far. Just like DVDFab 10, DVDFab 11 is an all in one suite for all your DVD and Blu-ray needs. If you want to copy, rip, create, or convert a DVD/Blu-ray media then DVDFab 11 is the ultimate tool for you.

DVDFab 11 Review: A Quick Introduction

Before getting to the review you should know what DVDFab 11 actually is and what it does? DVDFab 11 is an all in one DVD, Blu-ray and UHD solution which can copy, rip, convert, and create DVDs, Blu-rays, and UHD discs. It also provides various free tools like YouTube video downloader with which you can download YouTube videos in high resolution and HD decrypter for decrypting discs.

It is a very nice software that can convert any physical disc into an ISO or a folder. It is also known for removing disc encryption and supports decryption of the major disc encryption techniques. If you ever need an all-in-one DVD, Blu-ray, UHD solution then DVDFab is the only answer.

What's New in DVDFab 11?

All new plain, flat, and simple design.

DVDFab 11 introduced a wireless connectivity feature. You can now connect your smartphone to DVDFab 11 via DVDFab remote with Wi-Fi. Through this feature, you can directly transfer data to your PC from your phone and can also pick up videos to convert them in the DVDFab 11 video converter.

The video converter function has now a new special format for YouTube videos which is added as 'Web Optimized'. So if you are converting videos for your YouTube channel this new feature will amaze you.

A new 'File Transfer' tool can be found in 'Utilities'. The transfer requires a Wi-Fi connection and DVDFab remote app which should be installed on your Android or iOS device.

Now supports nearly 1200+ input and output video formats.

DVDFab 11 Main UI Explained

Have a look at the main UI of DVDFab 11. You can see that all the major functions are accessible from the main window. DVDFab 11 provides four main functions for DVD and Blu-ray operations which are the copy, rip, convert, and create a DVD or Blu-ray. The 'Utilities' tab provides some free tools like BDinfo, BDfix, YouTube video downloader, and file transfer. Clicking the 'Task Queue' will show you the active threads running. You can directly save a DVD or Blu-ray disc as an ISO or a folder from the main window. Just check out the dedicated 'ISO', and the folder buttons below.

DVDFab 11 Main Functions

DVDFab 11 provides four main functions which are being described in detail below. The explanation of these functions will tell you why it is good to call DVDFab 11 an all in one DVD and Blu-ray suite.

1. DVDFab Copy:

The copy function simply lets you copy a DVD or Blu-ray disc to another blank DVD or Blu-ray disc, ISO, or a folder. If you want to save a copy of your physical disc then ISO would be the best choice. The copy function has various sub-functions which are listed below.

Full Disc: Copy the entire DVD/BD to a new blank disc, ISO, or folder. This makes an exact replica of your physical disc.

Main Movie: The sub-function only selects the main movie from the disc and copies it to new blank disc, ISO, or a folder. You are allowed to select other main movie titles instead of keeping the one which is selected by default.

Customize: The customize sub-copy function lets you select multiple movie files on the disc. You can choose which movie titles to select and which to skip. After that, you can copy those movie files to a new blank disc, ISO, or a folder.

Split: The split function lets you split a DVD9 into two DVD5.

Merge: With the merge function, you can merge multiple DVDs and Blu-rays into a single disc. But both disc types can't be mixed.

Clone/Burn: If you want to make a 1:1 lossless copy of your DVD or BD then use this function to create a lossless ISO, folder or even burn the copied disc data to a new blank physical disc with the DVDFab burning engine.

ToDVD: If you want to copy and convert a Blu-ray to a DVD format then use this function. This function only supports normal Blu-ray discs, ISO, and folders and doesn't support UHD.

ToBlu-ray: If you want to copy and convert a DVD to a Blu-ray format then use this function to create a new disc, ISO, or a folder.

UHD to Blu-ray: UHD Blu-ray discs are actually 4K BD100 discs. They are known to deliver the ultimate 4K UHD experience on a 4K screen. These discs can't be played on normal BD players. But you can convert these UHD discs to standard Blu-ray format by using the UHD to Blu-ray sub-copy function. Here again, you are allowed to burn a blank BD or create an ISO or a folder.

2. DVDFab Ripper:

If you know what video converting is then you should also be aware of disc ripping. In video conversion, we use video files that are stored on any type of storage media like a disc, flash drive, hard drive, or external hard drive. But in ripping we only use a physical DVD/Blu-ray, ISO, or a folder. The ripper function converts the disc media to other popular video formats like MP4, AVI, FLV, MKV etc.

If you don't own a physical DVD or Blu-ray player in your home then you can use this DVDFab ripper function to actually convert your discs to popular video formats like MP4. MP4 format is highly portable and is mostly used for smartphones, TVs and media players. So if you manage to convert your disc media to MP4 format then you can play it on almost every device that you have like TV, smartphone, tablet, PC, STB, or media players.

Device Specific Disc Ripping

DVDFab 11 also gives you an option to rip and convert your DVD or Blu-ray disc to a smartphone, tablet, and gaming consoles formats. This is known as device-specific disc ripping, which means that you're actually ripping your physical disc media that would be easily played on your smartphone or gaming console.

The device specific conversion features a lot of devices like the iOS devices, Samsung smartphones, gaming consoles like PS4, PS3, XBOX One, XBOX 360, VR headsets and many more. You just have to select the device and DVDFab 11 will automatically load the best ripping and conversion settings for your device. However, you are allowed to customize the settings before you can start to rip the disc.

3. DVDFab Converter DVDFab converter function is exactly the same as DVDFab ripper function. The only difference is that in converter function you can use any type of video format instead of just using the DVD and Blu-ray formats. The converter function can easily convert any video format to other video formats. So it is quite possible to convert an MP4 video to an MKV video.

You just simply have to select the video and then have to select your favorite output video format. You are also allowed to customize video settings like resolution, quality, audio, bit-rate etc. This converter function also supports device-specific conversion a feature which we have already explained above. The ripper and the converter functions are nearly the same.

4. DVDFab Creator The creator function gives you the authority to create your own DVDs, Blu-rays, and UHDs. Simply select your own videos in any format and head over to the creator function. Select either DVD, Blu-ray, or UHD that you want to create. The program also lets you create disc menus and you can also select disc configuration.

Common Options to Customize

If you are using the copy, ripper, or converter function then there are some common options that you can customize. These common options are 'Chapter select', 'Audio select', 'Subtitle select' and 'Video settings'. A DVD or a Blu-ray disc has multiple chapters and you can select or specific chapters while skipping the rest while using any of the three main DVDFab functions.

Many DVDs and Blu-ray discs feature multiple audio streams or languages that you can select while playing them on your player. While using any of the three main DVDFab functions you can select multiple audio streams and skip those unwanted audio streams to speed up the copy, rip, or convert functions. And lastly, you can also select subtitles while using any of the three main DVDFab functions. These three options will be present in all these three main functions.

DVDFab Inbuilt Video Editor

You can use the DVDFab video editor while using the ripper and the converter function. The DVDFab video editor is a set of video editing tools that can be used to edit any movie or video while ripping or converting process. The video editor provides tools like trim, crop, thumbnail, image and text watermark, and adding subtitles. The new video editor in DVDFab 11 is not as great as it was in DVDFab 10 which was easy and straightforward. You can check images from both versions. However, I believe that upcoming updates will surely gonna fix this.

Android screen recording is a wonderful feature for Android smartphones. A few years ago Android screen recording wasn't that easy. Because at that time the Android screen recording feature wanted your phone to be rooted. So, it was a very complex process as first you have to root your phone and then had to find a suitable Android screen recording app.

But since the launch of Android 5.0 Lollipop, we do have Android screen recording apps that don't require your phone to be rooted. You can record your Android phone screen with quality apps like AZ screen recorder. Now you can use your non-rooted phone to record its screen for gameplay and making tutorials. So it is quite a wonderful feature.

Following this trend smartphone company like Xiaomi has started pushing a screen recording feature update in its smartphones. If you own a Xiaomi phone which is running MIUI 8.0 or above then you can use the hidden screen recording feature on it.

There is a reason why I am calling this a hidden screen recorder in Xiaomi phones. This is because the MIUI screen recorder is available in 'Tools' folder and is not visible among apps by default. So Xiaomi phone users you don't need to install a third-party Android screen recorder because your phone has it already, but it's a basic one.

How to Use The Inbuilt and Hidden Screen recorder in MIUI Xiaomi Phones

On your phone go to the 'Tools' folder and tap 'Screen Recorder' app.

The app will open. Tap the 'Settings' button in the top right corner.

Tap 'Resolution' and select your desired higher or lower resolution.

Then tap 'Video quality' and select the desired quality.

Set the 'Orientation' to 'Auto'.

In 'Sound Source' select MIC if you want to record your own voice. Otherwise, select 'System sounds' if you want to record internal audio. In Android internal audio recording, the MIC will be disabled.

Check the 'Frame Rate' options if you want to customize them or leave the default settings.

Scroll down and enable touch gestures if you want to show your viewers on where you are touching the screen.

After changing all the settings go to the main screen and tap the red 'Recording' button in the bottom left corner. On tapping that red button the app will exit to apps home screen and you will see again see a red round recording button with a 'Start' label.

Tap 'Start' to start recording your Xiaomi phone's screen. The recording button will show the time and you can drag and drop it anywhere on the screen.

When you want to finish you can tap the red stop button. The recorded video will be saved. Go to the same screen recording app in 'Tools' and the recorded video will be there. You can play that video in the media player, share it, and upload on YouTube.

Tap any recorded video to open the options for it. Then tap the 'Edit' button.

The MIUI screen recorder also provides a tiny built-in video editor which lets you edit your recorded screen videos.

Tapping the 'Edit' button will open a tiny video editor. You'll have options like 'Trim', 'Filter', 'Text', and 'Audio'.

With these editing options, you can add background music to your video. Add text watermark, add video filter and can trim unwanted parts of the video.

What is Android Internal Audio Recording?

Suppose you are playing a game on your Android. The game has audio which you hear from the speaker. This sound comes from within the game's audio files. If you want to record this game with its sound then we will call it Android internal audio recording. This type of recording doesn't use the phone's MIC that's why it is always free from external sounds and noises. Currently, third-party Android screen recording apps don't support internal audio recording. But the MIUI screen recorder is fully capable of recording internal Android audio.

If you own a non-Xiaomi phone and want to clearly record internal audio while screen recording then check this detailed tutorial.

Android users face a very common problem of lost or deleted data. This is the only major problem that every Android user has faced at least once in his/her life. Sometimes while migrating Android data from an old phone to a new phone you may lose your data if the process isn't carried out carefully. And accidental Android data deletion is a nightmare for every Android user. Accidental deletion can happen anytime with anyone and in this situation, we can only blame the user for his doings.

First of all, I would suggest every Android user have a backup of his/her data. Android phones are getting bigger and bigger in internal storage. Some 8 or 10 years ago we used to see 2GB space as a big one but now in 2018, we feel that even 64GB of internal storage becomes less sometimes.

As the phone storage increased people started relying heavily on them and stopped using memory or SDcards. Back in old days we mostly used micro SDcards for saving our photos, videos, and songs and if any file got deleted then it was much easier to recover it from an SDcard. But today we just have stopped using micro SDcards and taking regular backups of our Android phone data.

Recovering lost data from the internal storage of an Android phone is not an easy job. You'll need a special software for this that can access your phone's internal storage. And secondly, for a recovery software to deeply scan your phone's internal storage, it has to be rooted. So, you see why we are facing problems with our data, why we are losing it, and why we are finding it hard to recover it.

This is because most people don't care about backing up their precious data and then face the consequences in case of lost data. So be a good and responsible Android user, backup your data on a regular basis. For backing up your data you can use a flash drive or an external hard drive.

How to Recover Lost Android Data For Free Without Root

If you backup your Android data regularly then I bet you won't have any problems in case of lost data because you can always restore it from your backup. But if you have lost your Android data and don't have a backup then I'll tell you about recovering it for free. In this tutorial, I'll talk about an Android data recovery Android app that you can download from Google Play Store. This app doesn't require a PC and you can recover lost Android data without PC and on the phone itself.

This Android data recovery app recovers photos, videos, call logs, WhatsApp chat database, contacts, and SMS. This app is EaseUs MobiSaver data recovery app for Android. It doesn't require any PC you just have to install this app on your phone and scan for deleted data. The app strongly recommends that your phone should be rooted. But if you are recovering recently deleted few photos or videos then there is no need to root your phone. In this case, the EaseUS MobiSaver will still recover deleted photos and videos for free and without root.

A Twitter user SandboxEscaper just found a new zero-day vulnerability in Windows 10. The Twitter user also posted a proof-of-concept on their Github which tested and verified by US-CERT. Microsoft is aware of this vulnerability and is currently planning to a release a patch on its Patch Tuesday cycle on September 11, 2018. But currently, there is no fix to this vulnerability.

The vulnerability becomes active if a hacker is able to exploit the Advanced Local Procedure Call (ALPC) system. It allows a hacker to gain the system access as an administrator on a vulnerable Windows 10 64-bit PC or a Windows Server 2016. Some experts believe that for this vulnerability to exploit a PC it should gain local access first. It is not easy for a hacker to gain local access to your computer. For this purpose, a hacker will try many phishing tricks with you or trick you to install a custom developed malware which lets him/her local access on your Windows 10 PC.

Therefore the risk and threat level of this zero-day vulnerability are pretty low. As long as you stay vigilant about your network and PC security hackers will have a hard time targeting you. As there is no patch available for this zero-day vulnerability, therefore, you can just prevent it until Microsoft releases a patch for this.

How to Prevent Windows 10 Zero-Day Vulnerability

Install a good antivirus on your Windows 10 computer. Don’t just rely on free antivirus software. We highly recommend you Avast Internet Security 2018. Even if you don’t want to buy it then you can use its fully functional 30 days trial period to protect your PC until 11th September 2018. On or after this date Microsoft will release an update.

If you are a user of Windows Insider Programme then you may already have started getting the Windows 10 Redstone 5 preview. Windows 10 Redstone 5 is the upcoming major update to Windows 10. It is currently in testing phase and will be released to the general public in October 2018 as Windows 10 October 2018 Update Build 17746. The Windows 10 Redstone 5 will be coming with great new features and enhancements. So if you can't wait till October then you should install it right now for free.

This is the first time when Microsoft released the ISO files of Windows Insider previews officially. However, a normal user is barred from downloading the Windows 10 Redstone 5 ISO. At present only a Windows Insider Programme can download it. Also, make sure that Windows Insider Previews aren't stable and come with unfinished features. So your system may crash or show you BSODs. So if you are going to download and install the Windows 10 Redstone 5 ISO then make sure that you have a proper backup of your precious data.

How to Install Windows 10 Redstone 5 ISO Build 17713

After downloading the ISO you'll need to create a bootable USB so that you can install it on your PC. To make a bootable USB you can use Rufus software. If your computer supports UEFI then make the bootable USB with GPT support. Here are some useful tutorials for you.

Recently Google and WhatsApp had an agreement in which Google agreed to not count the storage space taken by your WhatsApp chat database file against your Google Drive storage quota. WhatsApp provides two ways to backup your chat history. One is the local backup which automatically takes place daily and the chat history file gets stored on your phone's internal storage. The second option is the Google drive backup, you can store your WhatsApp backup on Google drive.

For this purpose, you'll need a Google account that WhatsApp will ask during chat backup. Google blog has stated that WhatsApp chat databases that have not been updated for more than a year will be automatically deleted after October 30, 2018. So you need to update your chat history backup. But do you think Google drive is a safe way to save your WhatsApp chat history backup file?

Why Storing WhatsApp Chat Backup History on Google Drive is Not a Good Option

WhatsApp introduced end-to-end encryption in 2016 to protect the privacy of its users. With end-to-end data encryption standard, the messages and media files that you send on WhatsApp will remain encrypted. WhatsApp makes a local backup of chat history on your phone's storage. This chat history database file is unreadable in its original state. But it can be easily restored on a new WhatsApp number and can be decrypted without any extra efforts. So, technically there is no use of this encryption because if someone gets your chat database file then he/she can read your messages by restoring the backup on a new number.

But storing your WhatsApp chat backup on Google drive is even scarier. WhatsApp stores unencrypted chat history database on Google drive. Which means there is no encryption at all and Google can read your WhatsApp messages and may handover your chat history to Governments on request. Not only Google or Governments but if you lose your phone then someone will take over your Google account and may restore your chats on another WhatsApp number using the Google drive WhatsApp chat backup.

In both, the cases encryption is just a mere word. It fails to serve the purpose of user privacy. You can easily restore and read WhatsApp chat history from one number to another. So, it is better to delete your WhatsApp Google drive backup and only keep a local backup.

Your WhatsApp chats may reveal a lot about you if someone gets a hold of them. So, keep your phone secure and never use Google drive backup. In my opinion, don't backup WhatsApp chats at all and keep deleting backup or choose to never backup your chats automatically.

How to Delete Hidden WhatsApp Chat History Backup From Google Drive

Google Drive and Google Drive for business, Google Drive for Work store your WhatsApp chat history database in a hidden way. It actually doesn't store the chat database file in its original form but in a way that is readable by WhatsApp and Google only. Recently, Google was found to be tracking its users even when the GPS remained shut. So there's a lot of privacy concerns when you use online cloud services. Only you can keep your privacy private. To delete the WhatsApp chat history backup from Google storage drive, you have to follow the steps below.

Go to drive.google.com for Google cloud login and log in with your Google account that is being used by WhatsApp.

When the main page opens click the 'Settings' a gear-like icon just next to the help button. From that options click 'Settings'.

A new window will open click 'Manage Apps'. Scroll down and find WhatsApp. Click 'Options' next to it and select 'Delete hidden app data'.

A popup will open asking you to delete the hidden WhatsApp chat backup. Click the 'Delete' button.

Remove WhatsApp Access to Your Google Drive Account

Deleting the hidden WhatsApp chat history data isn't enough. If you don't revoke WhatsApp access to your Google drive account then when you backup chat history on WhatsApp it will again save the chat database on Google drive. So you have to stop this.

Go to myaccount.google.com and under 'Sign-in & security' click 'Apps with account access'.

After that WhatsApp will no longer be able to upload your chat history to your Google account.

Completely Removing Google Account from WhatsApp

After revoking access WhatsApp will again ask for permission if you try to backup your chats. If you accidentally grant permission then your chat history will be uploaded again to Google cloud drive. So to prevent this we have to completely remove the Google account from WhatsApp.

Take a fresh backup of your WhatsApp chat history by going to 'Settings>Chats>Chat backup'. Tap the 'BACK UP' button and backup your most recent and entire chat history to the WhatsApp folder.

Now copy this freshly updated 'WhatsApp' folder from your phone's storage and store it to another location like your PC.

Now go to android 'Settings' and find 'Apps'. Tap it to open and find WhatsApp.

Please make sure after you restore your chats during setup then next step will ask you to set up the backup interval for Google Drive.

You have to select 'Never', if you select any other option then you will also have to add your Google account. Without doing this WhatsApp can't complete setup. So choose 'Never' to prevent such a situation.

Now when you see your chats go to 'Settings>Chats>Chat backup'. You'll see here that under 'Google Drive Settings' the account is to 'None' and backup is set to 'Never'.

In this case, if you tap the green 'BACK UP' button then it will store your chat database on your phone's internal storage which is much more secure than Google storage WhatsApp backup.

Using WhatsApp comes with a great responsibility as you have to keep your data safe. So be careful and take and store backups smartly.

Google's Gmail has just got the most awaited feature known as the confidential mode. Recently Gmail has got an updated design and confidential mode is a part of its new look. With confidential mode, any Gmail user will now have more control over the emails that he/she would send to other users.

With confidential mode, you can set time limits for any email that you send. After that time limit is reached the email self-destructs. It is currently a nice option that you can use to send confidential messages. Though we don't suggest you use it for your banking or OTP purposes. So, in this article, we will teach you everything about the Gmail confidential mode.

What is Gmail Confidential Mode and How Does it Work?

The concept of Gmail's confidential mode is similar to self-destructing emails. While composing an email you first set an expiry date. Secondly, you'll have an option to set a passcode for that email. If you set a passcode then you have to enter the mobile number of that email account holder.

The email composed with confidential mode will always reside on Google servers rather than actually being in your Gmail inbox. Gmail sends an email with a link that can only be viewed on Google servers (confidential-mail.google.com). Once the time limit is reached the receiver will no longer have access to that email.

One thing to note here is that if you don't set any passcode for an email and send it to non-Gmail users then these users will still have to authenticate themselves with a passcode. If they can't authenticate then they can't even see the email's content.

The options to forward, print, copy/paste and the right click are by-default disabled. You'll still the option to print that email but when you click it nothing will print except a big white space in the email body.

How to Use Gmail Confidential Mode on Windows/Mac (Web Interface)

Follow the tutorial below if you are using Gmail on a PC or Mac computer to compose a self-destructing email.

Go to mail.google.com on your Windows or Mac computer and log in with your account.

Click 'Compose' button below the 'Gmail' logo in the top left corner.

Clicking this compose button will open the Gmail email composer form.

Here you'll see a lock with a clock on it. Click this button to open settings for the confidential mode.

First of all, you have to set an 'Expiry Date' for your email. Under the 'SET EXPIRY' option select the option between 1 Day to 5 Years (both options included). After that expiry date is reached Gmail will automatically revoke access to that particular email.

Now under 'REQUIRE PASSCODE' you will have to options 'No SMS Passcode' and 'SMS Passcode'. Select any of the two options. If you are setting a passcode then you will have to enter the cell phone number of that email recipient.

How to Use Gmail Confidential Mode on Android/iOS Gmail App

Use this tutorial if you are composing confidential emails on iOS or Android Gmail app.

Open the Gmail app and click the 'Red' compose button (pencil button).

When the email composer opens click the menu button (three dots) in the top right corner and tap 'Confidential mode'.

Here again, you'll have to set the expiration date and select whether to use a passcode or not. Here 'Standard' passcode means no passcode for Gmail users. But non-Gmail users will still have to authenticate via a passcode before viewing the email.

After making the settings tap 'SAVE'. Now compose your email and send it to the desired recipient.

How to View Confidential Emails in Gmail

If someone sends you a confidential email message in an email then he or she will send it with or without a passcode. If the sender didn't use a passcode then you can directly view the message in your Gmail. You still don't have any options to copy, paste, forward, or print that email message.

If the sender used a passcode for that email then he had entered your mobile number while composing the confidential email. So whenever you receive such an email then you first have to authenticate yourself by getting a passcode on the cell phone number that the sender used for composing that email.

Note: Please note that passcodes require you to enter mobile number with the right country code. If you don't enter a country code then the first few digits of the cell phone number will be treated as a country code which finally let Gmail to send passcodes to a non-existent number.

How to Save The Gmail Confidential Emails

Currently, there is no option to save or print an email composed via the confidential mode. But you can take a screenshot of that email before it expires. This is the only way to save a copy of this confidential email.

So, this was everything about the Gmail's confidential mode. Its a nice move to improve email security. Since email is not a safe way to communicate, Gmail encryption may not always protect your emails. You should never use it to send personal information at any cost.
